Sasha Sokolov (born ????????? ???????????? ???????/Alexander Vsevolodovitch Sokolov on November 6, 1943, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) is a paradoxical writer of Russian literature. He became known worldwide in the 1970s after his first novel, A School for Fools, had been published in translation by Ardis Publishing (Ann Arbor, Michigan) in the US, and later reissued by Four Walls Eight Windows.
Sokolov is one of the most important authors of 20th-century Russian literature.
He is well acclaimed for his unorthodox use of language, playing with rhythms, sounds and associations.
The author himself coined the term "proeziia" for his work—in between prose and poetry (English close form of the term can sound as "proetry").
